Met Office weather forecast snow in London: Capital to experience first flakes of the year

London is set to see it's first snowflakes of 2024 at lunchtime today, according to Met Office's latest weather forecast.

London is set to see the first glimpse of snow of the year today (Janyary 8), according to the Met Office's Monday forecast. 

The meteorological service's weather round-up for today shows light snow could fall in the south of the capital at around midday.

Bromley and Croydon locals will be the first to see the white stuff, with the first few flakes from 11am.

Light flurries are now forecast across the city starting from the early afternoon. North London areas including Islington and Tottenham are both set to have brief snowfall at around 6pm.

Monday's expected snow comes as the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for ice this morning for south London as well as parts of Kent and Sussex.

A second yellow warning has since followed, saying Londoners could experience icy and snowy conditions from 3pm into the early morning.

Today's wintery weather may not be the only expected appearance of snow this month. The WX Charts weather map shows that London could see more snow towards the end of the month.
